ff' 1, 9QJsr'bACK in the days of Romanesque architecture and sweep- i ' N , ing moustaches, when Macalester was one lonely building X Jon a wide sweep of prairie, the first Mac was dedicated. A I0 . . . 1 k N At the time this little book appeared there was at the 's?xT'5if:1r5v'head of the Department of History a man whose name should mean something to every graduate of Macalester College-without whom, indeed, there would have been no college. This was Dr. Edward D. Neill, founder and first president of the school, a man Whose unquenchable enthusiasm for life led him into the Great West in the days before Minnesota had become a state, whose Christian ardor established and fostered the first Presbyterian churches in St. Paul, whose enthusiasm for education contributed to the founding of many schools, among them the University of Minnesota, the first State Teachers' Col- lege at Winona, and Macalester College. As pastor, educator, historian, and diplomat, Dr. Neill had a life of colorful adventure and stirring challenge, and his name is forever linked with the struggles and achievements of early Minnesota history. His was a career which led from a bare frame chapel in a Minnesota frontier village to the great libraries in London and back again across the Atlantic to a college in the Mississippi Valley. The story of this man is not only instructive but inspiring-a chap- ter of pioneer life which leaves us with a great pride in him who founded our college and whose simple heroism and patient endeavor overcame dis- couragements and made Edward D. Neill a builder of our state and nation. With the hope that future generations may somehow preserve with- in his school that spirit of wisdom and unflinching Christianity character- istic of his life, we dedicate this book to Edward Duffield Neill. -The Editors
